"Jay, the restless wanderer, rocks the lives of two strangers by introducing them to the strange world he has stumbled across-the streets of Melbourne. Rick, the bookworm, is torn away from his mundane academic life. Johnny, the paranoid poet, is released from his small-town worries.
When they hit the streets together, twisted tales rise from the gutters. The bathing man. The cardboard preacher. The mute who isn't a mute. The trio cast aside everything they know, embarking on a journey to meet the city's neglected souls.
There's a Tale to This City is an offbeat portrait of Melbourne that combines poetry, narrative prose and toilet paper diary entries, recollecting the strange experiences of three writers, who came together to learn the art of listening."
"From going on a not-so-ideal date to accidentally downing a carton of raw bacon, alongside attempts of dealing with dyslexia at the post office, Passing Tales is a collection of vignettes and short stories that exposes everyday life as a breeding ground for absurd encounters and hearty chuckles.
